Max opened his eyes slowly and found himself laying on the floor where he was earlier when Flarey had gone.
"What! I dont remember falling asleep!?" Max sighed and got up steadily, pacing around. "Where are they??" After he said that the ground started swirling and Max turned Green, speeding along.
"H-hey where am I going!?" Max had fallen into the Forum Jump icon he was speeding to any forum on the site.
"Ow!" Max crashed the floor with a thud and looked up. "Where is this... What forum is it..." Max saw a pile of photos including him, Flarey, Darkk, Krisp and many other people. "Ohh, thats the Photo Thread, so this must be... General Discussion.." Max was right, a golden sign hung above him with the words 'General Discussion - No Pokemon' imprinted on it.

Max paced around, walking around Egeneral Discussion to see if anybody was there. "Hmpf... Nobody." A Mew popped out of nowhere right in front of Max, it was crying and it was very cute. "Uh.. Wait... I've seen you... You're the Error Page Picture that Flarey drew arent you!" The Mew nodded and sniffed, then started to pixelate randomly. "Mew... Wait!" Max stood still and saw pixels flying all around him, then hitting him hard on the back, the pixels punding into him. "I'd love to get away but I cant press the back button! Ack!" Max stormed off with the glitch pixels flying after him.

Max swerved round a corner and got to a huge gate with 'Leaving the 'General' category.' Max pushed the gate as hard as he could, it moved slowly. the pixels were now catching up and travlelling over the Sports Area near him. "C'mon!!!" Max slipped through the gap in the gateway and slammed against the other side of the gate trying to shut it. "Damn door!!" It slammed and the pixels started bombarding it like trebuchet rocks.

"FLAREY!?" "ANYBODY!!??" Max ran around the area he was in, it was plain blue, the no-mans land between the General and Announcement categories. "HELLO?!"

"Maxie?" Stopping at the sound of his voice, Flarey stared forward, not moving. In another second it had passed, and she moved forward again, shaking her head. Turning the corner she saw him, and stopped.

"W-what.. get off me you fool!" Pushing him away, Flarey seized him by the throat, eyes not leaving his face. For a moment when he'd first hugged her, she'd almost returned to normal, but the brief spell had soon passed. Squeezing his throat, she ran her eyes coldly over him.

Max choked harshly and stared at Flarey. He didnt know what was happening, one minute he was happy to see her and hugging her, the next he was being throttled and lifted a bit. Something must be wrong he thought.
"Do-dont..!" Max spluttered. "It's Max! .. You.. know... the English weirdo kid. " Max smiled faintly and choked again. "Let go of me Flarey..." He wasn't sure what was wrong with her, but he knew something was...

"M-maxie?" Staring at him, eyes clearing completely for a moment, Flarey gasped. Releasing his throat, she staggered backwards. "Maxie, how..No! No you will not win!" Moving back towards him, she made as if to grab his throat again, at the last minute changing and pushing him harshly to the floor.

Max tried to stay upright but he fell to the floor with a thud. "Ow.. My neck.." Max put his hand around his neck to feel where Flarey hand was, it was burning read and quite hot. "Flarey, stop this..." Max coughed and stood up, brushing himself down. He stepped towards Flarey and grabbed her arm easily and looked into her eyes. "Flarey... Where's the happy, cheery Flarey I once knew eh?" Max smiled at Flarey. "Show me a smile m'dear.."

Max felt an urging tickle on his belt and Hypno popped out beside him. "Hy-Hypno?" the Hypno swirled his pendulum around strongly. "Oh... Yeah I know somethings wrong.." The Hypno shook his head and swirled more. "Theres more? Argh." The Hypno nodded and looked around.

"Flarey!" Max lifted Flarey up to her feet and smiled at her again, taking her arms. "Smile, c'mon, happy happy, smile smile."

"Who was that!?" Max staggered backwards, looking around. "So Hypno was right..." Max looked to Flarey then all around him, he couldnt see anybody else. "Come out and show your face!" Max paced back to Flarey. "Who was that???"

"Idiot!" With a swooshing sound the room went pitch black, and the air turned bitter cold. Leaping down from the roof, The Editor landed smoothly and stood up, knowing that they couldn't see him. Lifting the dark a fraction, he began to walk towards Max.

Max picked Flarey up from her knees and hands. "We are in the area between the 'General' and 'Announcements' categories." Max tried to see through the pitch black, it got a bit lighter after a few seconds, and he could see an outline, gradually getting bigger. "Is... that.. him??" Max stepped back a bit.

"Him? Who .. who is that, Maxie?" Flarey asked softly, drawing closer to Max nervously. She shivered - the air was still growing colder, and she could see their breath in front of their faces.

Stopping a metre away from them, The Editor scowled.

"Maximilian. You have completely destroyed her! What am I going to do with you now..." Stalking forward, he allowed them to see him. His cold, cat-like eyes glinting in the dark, he had long, silky gold hair, parted on the side and hanging down over half of his slender face. He was elegantly dressed in a green waistcoat and black pants, with a long golden cape.

"You... are in a lot of trouble, boy." he said coldly, grabbing Max's face in his long-fingered hand.

Flarey flinched as she saw his face. "No.." she whispered, taking Max's arm in fear. "No it can't be..."

"Hmm... you look very familiar..." Examining him closely, The Editor frowned. "I have seen you before, I know it.. Quiller!" Turning his cold gaze to Flarey, he glanced back at Max once more before addressing her.

"Quiller, tell me who this boy is. I know I have seen - of course! Duster Man!! I should have known you'd get to Quiller before Neutral did..." Giving Max a look of disgust, The Editor turned his back and walked a few paces away.

"You know I used to draw comics, right? Well, Duster Man is one of the characters. I'm one too, and another is known as the Confused Neutral. The others always thought that Quiller - which was based on me - and Neutral would end up getting together. He must think that you are Duster Man!
